This article analyzes the complex memorial stakes of the events
that unfolded in French Indochina during World War II. It first considers
the wartime years and analyzes the French frameworks for understanding
the Vichy period and the Japanese takeover. It then delves into two memorial
trends: the rehabilitation of the French resistance in Indochina and the
commemoration of victims of the 9 March 1945 Japanese coup. These
trends have produced a double elision: the focus on resistance to the Japanese
has displaced previous allegiance to Vichy, and the emphasis on the victimhood
of the French settler community has overshadowed responsibility
for colonial violence.

French Politics, Culture & Society explores modern and contemporary France from the perspectives of the social sciences, history, and cultural analysis. It also examines France''s relationship to the larger world, especially Europe, the United States, and the former French Empire. The editors also welcome pieces on recent debates and events, as well as articles that explore the connections between French society and cultural expression of all sorts (such as art, film, literature, and popular culture). Issues devoted to a single theme appear from time to time. With refereed research articles, timely essays, and reviews of books in many disciplines, French Politics, Culture & Society provides a forum for learned opinion and the latest scholarship on France.
